The UAE Changemakers go to COP28
Dubai hosts the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28), uniting nations to tackle pressing environmental challenges. Amidst this influential summit, the UAE Changemakers, passionate about sustainability, seize the opportunity to learn, connect, and make a difference.
​
Driven by a shared vision for a greener future, we aim to glean insights from COP28's discussions on climate change and sustainable development. Our mission extends beyond theory; we seek practical solutions and connections with experts, envisioning ourselves as catalysts for positive change.
As COP28 unfolds, our team become ambassadors of a hopeful future, determined to apply our newfound knowledge and forge a path toward a more sustainable and resilient world.

One of our teacher advisors, Mr. Laurence Myers (Head of Service Learning at The American School of Dubai), presented to global citizens about how to integrate service and sustainability into the school system!
The UAE Changemakers set the example for sustainability service learning.
One of our co-founders Sriya Bandyopadhyay was invited as a guest speaker at Toddle's Service Learning Summit to share her experiences on all things service learning and change making! To find out more about the event, click here.
As the only students at the event, Sriya from The American School of Dubai and her peer Mia from the International School of Amsterdam spoke to an audience of hundreds of teachers and administrators from around the world on how they can integrate service learning into the education experience for students.
​
“Students can be empowered to find connections to service learning and change making in their traditional academic environments when they have a community of teachers, admin, and mentors who support them. As students and adults, it is crucial that we discover what matters to us, be proactive about our interests, and harness our strengths as a team to make a change. Co-founding the UAE Changemakers Collaborative, leading the Global Issues Network, and creating a quantitative economics simulation on promoting sustainable development in the global community was all possible because of the inspiring teachers I’ve had through my service learning experience at ASD.” - Sriya Bandyopadhyay
